PARIS, Mo. July 1S.-The Claim
trial vas resumed to-day at 1850
O'Clock p. m, with all parties appar-
emily in good physical condition. The
Instructions were agreed upon and
read to the jury, commencing at
4 o'clock, immediately after which
reading j. Med. Trimble, formerly
of Mexico, opened the argument for
the Stste, which was begun at Ago
p. m. and continued until 6 O'Clock.
when court adjourned until s O'Clock
tomorrow morning. II is generally
admitted that the argument so far
made by Trimble is such as could
not to surpassed by any, it having q
telling effect upon the audience.
After TIimble had thoroughly por-
trayed the character of a coward,
drawing many figures, oue being
Shakspeare's character of Jack Fal-
staff, he concluded with the remark
that the mar who killed Judge Hunolt
was n coward, and turning to the
defendant said, ''the defendant there
is a coward"
After having strongly portrayed
the characteristics of hatred and re-
vspge, he said: "The man who kill
ed Judge Hunolt had a revenge to
take and a hatred to satisfy. The
defendant had a revenge to take and
a hatred to satisfy against Judge
Hunolt." After having quoted the
words of the defendant, when he first
came to the body, sit was a brave
heart that did this deed" he followed
with an apostrophe to courage and
to bravery, which surpassed, SIS
many admit, anything of that char
acter that has been delivered in this
country for years. He will conclude
his argument IN the morning.

II Is finally settled that Miss Rose
Elizabeth Cleveland will soon take up
her abode in Gotham as teacher and
lecturer in private school. Not, how
ever merely under salary. She has
arranged the terms Of a partnership
with Mrs. Sylvanus Read, who has
schools for girls in New York for sew
eral years, and fair share of the
money made in the establishment will
be hers. One condition of the ar
rangement is that Miss Cleveland shall
forego all literary work while it con
tinues. She is not to do any writing
for magazines or other publications,
but give all her time and thought to her
duties in the school 1t looks rather
odd that lady who was mistress of. the

should engage in school teaching in
New York, while her brother is still
President of the United States, but
that's the way the genius of our insti-
tutions' works. and il is pretty good
way, too. Miss Cleveland will not re-
move to New York till September next,
when her work in the school will begin
Mrs. Read has known her several years
and has very high opinion of her
moral and mental character. The girls
in the school will probably have good
deal to say later on about having been
taught by the sister of the President of
the United States.

 And flow that needed the song; Yct the singers voice was tender

 That touches the woods in spring, Of the strange soul-stirring voices
 Whom "the hills break forth and sing = Of tho happy birds low warbling

 In tho dusk of the gloaming gray. And one in q distant corner

 And went on her way alone. Onco more to her life of labor
